What Protest? Trump’s Approval Rating Rises After Women’s March

Despite the large number of protesters descending on Washington, DC this past weekend protesting their new President over a “war on women”, Donald Trump’s approval rating continues to climb.

A significant number of voters now approve of the way Trump is handling the new job, at 57% while only 43% disapprove.

Breaking down the numbers further, strong approval of the president’s job performance is also rising with 42% of voters saying they strongly approve while only 33% strongly disapprove. Those numbers are up and down respectively, meaning admiration for Trump is rising while hardcore disdain is falling.

One of the reasons cited is Trump’s withdrawal from the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), but his whirlwind of other activity could also be improving his numbers as he continues to implement numerous policies that Americans agree with. Policies including a willingness to renegotiate NAFTA, approval of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, and setting the wheels in motion on a border wall, are all objectives he ran on.

If President Trump continues to march through his campaign promises and improve the lives of every American, then the protest marches will continue to diminish.
